Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Gather ingredients and then prepare your chicken (canned or rotisserie chicken can also be used). Cube the chicken breasts and pan fry them in salt, pepper, and onion powder.
  2. 2. If you want to make one large pot pie – flatten half the biscuit dough and lay it on the bottom of the casserole dish. If you would rather make mini pot pies for individual portions – flatten small portions of the dough and lay on the bottom of muffin tins.
  3. 3. Mix together the filling which includes the canned mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, and cream of mushroom soup. Add the prepared chicken and stir all together.
  4. 4. Fill your casserole dish or muffin tins with the filling. Then add another layer of flattened biscuit dough to the top.
  5. 5. Bake in the over at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until the dough is golden brown. Let cool and serve!

Notes

  • When serving a group it is recommended to make a larger casserole dish of pot pie, however when cooking for one or batch cooking for one, the muffin tins work perfect!
  • To cut down on time and ingredients, we used refrigerated biscuit dough instead of homemade dough.
  • Fresh or frozen vegetables can be used in place of the canned vegetables.
  • It is easy to change the chicken to vegetable ratio depending on your dietary needs. If you need more protein, add more chicken!
